<p>Since there isn’t a place to select which Brown prompt you’re writing about should I inlclude it at the top of my essay? My essay is under 500 words but with the prompt it’s over, do you think this would be a problem?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>i believe the word limit is a suggestion, but you could try putting the letter of your topic instead.</p>
<p>It says “we PREFER that you limit your response to 500 words maximum”
it’s not gonna kill you if you go over by 5 or so
I didn’t write the prompt, but I still went over by 7 words or so (because of my ~15 word title lol)</p>
<p>I glanced at it when I submitted it and I’m pretty sure I didn’t see anything cut out so…don’t worry too much</p>
<p>I went forty words over. I don’t think it’s a big deal. I also didn’t put my topic at all. They’ll probably be able to tell from the essay. Or hopefully they would. </p>
<p>They said on the admissions blog that it’s fine to be over the limit if it’s worth reading.</p>
<p>They won’t mind if your essay is over because of the prompt.</p>
